LANGUAGE OF THE ROBE
AMERICAN INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS
First Edition Written by Robert W. Kapoun
with Charles J. Lohrmann The First Book for Collectors of the Trade Blanket "For all Native American cultures, from the Plains and Southwest people to the tribes of the Northwest Coast, the blanket makes a visual statement of "Indianness."
Within the tribe or pueblo, the blanket is a statement of an individual's bond to the older, traditional ways, to roots that run deep. As a gift the blanket is an important acknowledgement of friendship, gratitude and respect.
Today, trade blankets are collectibles, especially those that were made prior to World War II. Language of the Robe identifies, classifies, and presents the history of the trade blanket. It has become a classic reference for collectors and blanket enthusiasts." 1997, First Paperback Edition, Later Printing
